PrideSports' Replaceable Spikes Used by Gold and Silver Medalists During Tokyo Olympic Men's Golf Competition
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., August 3, 2021 – The MacNeill Pride Group confirms multiple winners from this past weekend's top global golf competitions relied on the company's replaceable cleat solutions, including the gold and silver medalist in the men's golf event at the Tokyo Olympics and winners of the LPGA Tour's ISPS HANDA World Invitational and U.S. Senior Women's Open.
Capturing the gold medal by one shot on the East Course of the Kasumigaseki Country Club, the 27-year-old American trusted PINS Thintech EXP spikes in his Adidas shoes. The runner-up, who was representing Slovakia, utilized the Cyclone® from Softspikes® in his FootJoy Premier shoes. Beyond golf, numerous Olympic athletes competing in track and field, baseball/softball, football, rugby, field hockey and more rely on cleats solutions from PrideSports to provide optimal traction and stability.
At the LPGA Tour's ISPS HANDA World Invitational, contested at Galgorm Castle Golf Club in Northern Ireland, the winner captured her first LPGA Tour title using Pulsar® from SoftSpikes® in her FootJoy Icon Black shoes. This was the same spike model preferred by the 2021 U.S Senior Women's Open champion, who secured her 95th professional victory with an eight-shot win at Brooklawn Country Club.
"We see it virtually every week, but with so many eyes on the Olympics we're again reminded that the best golfers from all over the world use replaceable spikes to ensure they play their best," said John Hohman, senior vice president of marketing for PrideSports/MacNeill-Pride Group.

I am finally sending you the Hours of the Passion, now written, and all for the glory of Our Lord. I also include another sheet which contains the effects, and the beautiful promises which Jesus makes to anyone who does these Hours of the Passion.
I believe that if one who meditates them is a sinner, he will convert; if he is imperfect, he will become perfect; if he is holy, he will become more holy; if he is tempted, he will find victory; if he is suffering, in these Hours he will find the strength, the medicine, the comfort. And if his soul is weak and poor, he will find spiritual food and the mirror in which he will reflect himself continuously to be embellished and to become similar to Jesus, our model.
The satisfaction that blessed Jesus receives from the meditation of these Hours is so great, that He would want at least one copy of these meditations to be present and practiced in each city or town. In fact, it would happen, then, as if Jesus heard His own voice and His prayers being reproduced in those reparations, just as the ones He raised to His Father during the 24 hours of His sorrowful Passion. And if this were done in each town or city at least, by as many souls, Jesus seems to make me understand that Divine Justice would be placated in part, and in these sad times of torments and bloodshed, Its scourges would be stopped, in part, and as though dampened.
I let you, Reverend Father, make appeal to all; may you complete, in this way, the little work that my lovable Jesus had me do.
I also tell you that the purpose of these Hours of the Passion is not so much that of narrating the story of the Passion, because there are many books that treat this pious topic, and it would not be necessary to make another one. But rather, the purpose is the reparation, uniting the different points of the Passion of Our Lord with the diversity of the many offenses, and making worthy reparation for them together with Jesus, almost making up for all that the other creatures owe Him. From this, the different ways of reparation present in these Hours: in some sections one blesses, in others one compassionates, in others one praises, in others one comforts suffering Jesus, in others one compensates, in others one supplicates, prays and asks.
Therefore, I leave it to you, Reverend Father, to make known the purpose of these writings with a preface.
Finding myself in my usual state, I was thinking about the Passion of Our Lord; and while I was doing this, He came and told me: "My daughter, one who meditates continuously on my Passion and feels sorrow for it and compassion for Me, pleases Me so much that I feel as though comforted for all that I suffered in the course of my Passion; and by always meditating on it, the soul arrives at preparing a continuous food. In this food there are many different spices and flavors, which form different effects. So, if in the course of my Passion they gave Me ropes and chains to tie Me, the soul releases Me and gives Me freedom. They despised Me, spat on Me, and dishonored Me; she appreciates Me, cleans Me of that spittle, and honors Me. They stripped Me and scourged Me; she heals Me and clothes Me. They crowned Me with thorns, mocking Me as king, embittered my mouth with bile, and crucified Me; while the soul, meditating on all my pains, crowns Me with glory and honors Me as her king, fills my mouth with sweetness, giving Me the most delicious food, which is the memory of my own works; and unnailing Me from the Cross, she makes Me rise again in her heart. And every time she does so, I give her a new life of grace as recompense. She is my food, and I become her continuous food. So, the thing that pleases Me the most is meditating continuously on my Passion."
The recompense for those who do the Hours of the Passion.
I was thinking about the Hours of the Passion, which have now been written, and how they are without any indulgence. So, those who do them gain nothing, while there are many prayers enriched with many indulgences. While I was thinking of this, my always lovable Jesus, all kindness, told me: "My daughter, through the prayers with indulgences one gains something, but the Hours of my Passion, which are my very prayers, my reparations, and all love, have come out of the very depth of my Heart. Have you perhaps forgotten how many times I have united Myself with you to do them together, and I have changed chastisements into graces over the whole earth? So, my satisfaction is such and so great, that instead of the indulgence, I give the soul a handful of love, which contains incalculable prices of infinite value. And besides, when things are done out of pure love, my love finds its outpouring, and it is not insignificant that the creature gives relief and outpouring to the love of the Creator."
The effectiveness of these Hours depends on whether the soul does them in union with Jesus and in His Will. How Jesus desires that souls do the Hours of the Passion.
I was writing the Hours of the Passion, and I thought to myself: 'How many sacrifices in order to write these blessed Hours of the Passion, especially to put on paper certain interior acts which had passed only between me and Jesus. What will be the recompense that He will give to me?' And Jesus, letting me hear His tender and sweet voice, told me: "My daughter, as recompense for having written the Hours of my Passion, for each word you have written I will give you a kiss - a soul." And I: 'My love, this is for me; and what will You give to those who will do them?' And Jesus: "If they do them together with Me and with my own Will, I will also give them a soul for each word they will recite, because the greater or lesser effectiveness of these Hours of my Passion is in the greater or lesser union that they have with Me. By doing them with my Will, the creature hides within my Volition, and since it is my Volition that acts, I can produce all the goods I want, even through one word alone; and this, for each time you will do them."
Another time I was lamenting to Jesus, because after so many sacrifices to write these Hours of the Passion, very few were the souls who were doing them. And He: "My daughter, do not lament - even if there were only one, you should be content. Would I not have suffered my whole Passion even if one soul alone were to be saved? The same for you. One should never omit good because few avail themselves of it; all the harm is for those who do not take advantage of it. And just as my Passion made my Humanity acquire the merit as if all were saved, even though not all are saved, because my Will was to save everyone, and I received merit according to what I wanted, not according to the profit which creatures would draw; the same for you: you will be rewarded depending on whether your will was identified with my Will in wanting to do good to all. All the harm is for those who, though being able to, do not do them. These Hours are the most precious of all, because they are nothing less than the repetition of what I did in the course of my mortal life, and what I continue to do in the Most Holy Sacrament. When I hear these Hours of my Passion, I hear my own voice, my own prayers. In that soul I see my Will - that is, wanting the good of all and repairing for all - and I feel drawn to dwell in her, to be able to do what she herself does within her. Oh, how I would love that even one single soul for each town did these Hours of my Passion! I would hear Myself in each town, and my Justice, greatly indignant during these times, would be placated in part."
I add that one day I was doing the Hour in which the Celestial Mama gave burial to Jesus, and I followed Her to keep Her company in Her bitter desolation, to compassionate Her. I did not usually do this Hour all the times - only sometimes. Now, I was undecided about whether I should do it or not, and blessed Jesus, all love, and as though praying me, told me: "My daughter, I do not want you to omit it. You will do it for love of Me, in honor of my Mama. Know that every time you do it, my Mama feels as if She were on earth in person, repeating Her life, and therefore She receives that glory and love which She gave Me while on earth; and I feel as if my Mama were on earth again - Her maternal tenderness, Her love and all the glory that She gave Me. So, I will consider you as a mother." Then, as He embraced me, I heard Him say to me, very softly: "My mama, mama"; and He whispered to me all that sweet Mama did and suffered in this Hour - and I followed Her. From that time on, helped by His grace, I have never omitted it again.
I was doing the Hours of the Passion and Jesus, all pleased, told me: "My daughter, if you knew what great satisfaction I feel in seeing you repeating these Hours of my Passion - always repeating them, over and over again - you would be happy. It is true that my Saints have meditated on my Passion and have comprehended how much I suffered, melting in tears of compassion, so much so, as to feel consumed for love of my pains; but not in such a continuous way, and repeated many times in this order. Therefore I can say that you are the first one to give Me this pleasure, so great and special, as you keep fragmenting within you - hour by hour - my life and what I suffered. And I feel so drawn that, hour by hour, I give you this food and I eat the same food with you, doing what you do together with you. Know, however, that I will reward you abundantly with new light and new graces; and even after your death, each time souls on earth will do these Hours of my Passion, in Heaven I will clothe you with ever new light and glory."
As I continued the usual Hours of the Passion, my lovable Jesus told me: "My daughter, the world is in continuous act of renewing my Passion; and since my immensity envelopes everything, inside and outside the creatures, from their contact I am forced to receive nails, thorns, scourges, scorns, spit and all the rest which I suffered in the Passion - and still more. Now, at the contact with souls who do these Hours of my Passion I feel the nails being removed, the thorns shattered, the wounds soothed, the spit taken away. I feel I am repaid in good for the evil that others do to Me, and in feeling that their contact does no harm to Me, but good, I lean more and more on them."
In addition to this, returning to speak about these Hours of the Passion, blessed Jesus said: "My daughter, know that by doing these Hours the soul takes my thoughts and makes them her own; she takes my reparations, prayers, desires, affections, and even my most intimate fibers, and makes them her own. And rising up between Heaven and earth, she does my same office, and as co-redemptrix, she says with Me: 'Ecce ego, mitte me [Here I am, send me] - I want to repair for all, answer for all, and impetrate good for all'."
At each thought about the Passion of Jesus, the soul draws light from His Humanity.
Continuing in my usual state, my adorable Jesus made Himself seen all surrounded with light, which came out from within His Most Holy Humanity, and embellished Him in such a way as to form an enchanting and enrapturing sight. I remained surprised, and He told me: "My daughter, each pain I suffered, each drop of Blood, each wound, prayer, word, action, step, etc., produced a light within my Humanity, which embellished Me in such a way as to keep all the Blessed enraptured. Now, at each thought that the soul has about my Passion, at each act of compassion, reparation, etc., she does nothing other than draw light from my Humanity, and be embellished in my likeness. So, each additional thought about my Passion will be one more light which will bring her eternal joy."
How the Angels are around the soul who does the Hours of the Passion. These Hours are sweet little sips that souls give to Jesus.
I was doing the Hours of the Passion, and blessed Jesus told me: "My daughter, in the course of my mortal life, thousands and thousands of Angels were the cortege of my Humanity, gathering everything I did - my steps, my works, my words, and even my sighs, my pains, the drops of my Blood - in sum, everything. They were the Angels in charge of my custody, and of paying Me honor; obedient to my every wish, they would rise to and descend from Heaven, to bring to the Father what I was doing. Now these Angels have a special office, and as the soul remembers my Life, my Passion, my Blood, my wounds, my prayers, they come around this soul and gather her words, her prayers, her acts of compassion for Me, her tears and her offerings; they unite them to mine, and they bring them before my Majesty to renew for Me the glory of my own Life. The delight of the Angels is so great that, reverent, they listen to what the soul says, and pray together with her. So, with what attention and respect must the soul do these Hours, thinking that the Angels hang upon her lips to repeat after her what she says."
Then He added: "After the so many bitternesses that creatures give Me, these Hours are sweet little sips that souls give Me; but for the many bitter sips I receive, the sweet ones are too few. Therefore, more diffusion, more diffusion!"
Then, as I was worried about my hard and sad lot of having to be so very often without Him, my sweet Jesus came, and throwing one arm around my neck, told me: "My daughter, do not increase my pains by worrying - they are already too many. I do not expect this from you; on the contrary, I want you to make my pains, my prayers and all of Myself your own, in such a way that I may find in you another Me. In these times I want great satisfactions, and only one who makes Me his own can give them to Me. That which the Father found in Me - glory, delight, love, satisfactions whole and perfect, and for the good of all - I want to find in these souls, like as many other Jesuses that match Me. These intentions you must repeat in each Hour of the Passion that you do, in each action - in everything. If I do not find my satisfactions - ah, it is over for the world! The scourges will pour down in torrents. Ah, my daughter! Ah, my daughter!" And He disappeared.
As I was in my usual state, I found myself outside of myself, and I found my always lovable Jesus, all dripping with blood, with a horrible crown of thorns, looking at me with difficulty through the thorns. He told me: "My daughter, the world has become unbalanced because it has lost the thought of my Passion. In darkness, it has not found the light of my Passion which would illuminate it; and as it would make known to it my love and how much souls cost Me, it might turn to loving the One who has truly loved it; and the light of my Passion, guiding it, would put it on its guard against all dangers. In weakness, it has not found the strength of my Passion which would sustain it. In impatience, it has not found the mirror of my patience which would infuse in it calm and resignation; and in the face of my patience, feeling ashamed, it would make it its duty to dominate itself. In pains, it has not found the comfort of the pains of a God which, sustaining its pains, would infuse in it love of suffering. In sin, it has not found my sanctity which, placing itself in front of it, would infuse in it hate of sin. Ah! man has made an abuse of everything, because in everything he has moved away from the One who could help him. This is why the world has lost balance. It behaved like a child who no longer wanted to recognize his mother; or like a disciple who, denying his master, no longer wanted to listen to his teachings, or learn his lessons. What will happen to this child and to this disciple? They will be the sorrow of themselves, and the terror and sorrow of society. Such has man become - terror and sorrow; but a sorrow without pity. Ah! man is getting worse and worse, and I cry over him with tears of blood!"
Effects of the Hours of the Passion. There is not a soul who enters Purgatory without carrying the mark of the Hours of the Passion.
Finding myself in my usual state, I was fusing all of myself in my sweet Jesus, and then I poured all of myself into the creatures, in order to give the whole of Jesus to all. And my lovable Jesus told me: "My daughter, every time the creature fuses herself in Me, she gives the influence of Divine Life to all creatures; and according to their own needs, the creatures obtain their effects: those who are weak, feel strength; those who are obstinate in sin, receive light; those who suffer, receive comfort; and so with all the rest."
Afterwards, I returned into myself, and as I found my sweet Jesus, I asked Him whether that was true. And He: "These Hours are the order of the Universe; they put Heaven and earth in harmony, and restrain Me from sending the world to ruin. I feel my Blood, my wounds, my Love and all I did, being placed in circulation; and they flow over all to save all. As souls do these Hours of the Passion, I feel my Blood, my wounds, my yearnings to save souls, being put in motion, and I feel my own Life being repeated. How could creatures obtain any good if not by means of these Hours? Why do you doubt? This thing is not yours, but mine. You have been the strained and weak instrument."
I was praying for a dying soul with a certain fear and anxiety, when my lovable Jesus came and told me: "My daughter, why do you fear? Don't you know that for each word on my Passion, for each thought, compassion, reparation, memory of my pains - as many ways of electric communication open between Me and the soul, and therefore the soul keeps adorning herself with as many different beauties? She has done the Hours of my Passion, and I will receive her as daughter of my Passion, clothed with my Blood and adorned with my wounds. This flower has grown inside your heart, so I bless it and I receive it in my Heart, as a favorite flower." And while He was saying this, a flower came out of my heart, and took flight toward Jesus.
Everything that Jesus did and suffered is in continuous act of giving itself to man. All the remedies needed for the whole humanity are in His Life and Passion.
I was thinking about the Passion of my sweet Jesus, and upon coming, He told me: "My daughter, every time the soul thinks about my Passion, remembers what I suffered, or compassionates Me, she renews the application of my pains within herself. My Blood rises to inundate her, and my wounds place themselves on the path to heal her if she is wounded, or to embellish her if she is healthy - and all my merits, to enrich her. The traffic she produces is amazing - it is as if she placed everything I did and suffered on a counter, earning twice as much. In fact, everything I did and suffered is in continuous act of giving itself to man, just as the sun is in continuous act of giving light and heat to the earth. My work is not subject to exhaustion; if the soul just wants it so, and as many times as she wants it, she receives the fruit of my Life. So, if she remembers my Passion twenty, a hundred, a thousand times, so many more times will she enjoy Its effects. But how few are those who make a treasure of it! With all the good of my Passion, one can see souls who are weak, blind, deaf, mute, crippled - living cadavers, such as to be disgusting. This, because my Passion is put into oblivion.

Pending verification of eligibility, the unofficial winner of January Streak (and one hundred large) is the norgin312 entry with 20 consectuve wins. Norgin312 went 3-0 on the final day of January to overtake two others at 19 culminated by the Florida Panthers 2-0 victory over the Islanders.
Thanks to everyone who played the January 2010 round of Streak for the Cash - all streaks are back to zero tomorrow as another $100,000 is up for grabs!
The Streak is staying the course in February; however, matchups for Monday will not be listed until about 4:00 a.m. Monday's first matchup will be at 3:00 p.m.
Does anyone sleep anymore? Streak HQ sure doesn't. Inter visits Parma in early Serie A action.
Long-time Streakers know that Streak HQ loves the big ball. Mike Fagan is at the top of the step-ladder finals and needs to win just one game to be the Fountain Valley champ - however, with rollers like Walter Ray and Pete Weber in the second and third spots, it won't be an easy task.
It's the final round at Torrey Pines, so we've put up a tourney winner proposition. Third-round leader Ryuji Imada is paired with Lefty - or you can take every other golfer in the field.
It's the number one rivalry in basketball, and it could decide who wins January's SFTC as well. Kobe and the gang visit Beantown; both teams have been playing a bit banged-up. ABC brings you the action at approximately 3:30 p.m.
The NFL's new Pro Bowl experiment debuts in Miami.
After an embarrassing Friday, Streakers turned it around by winning over 70 percent of their Saturday picks.

Q: Resources to crawl 1M per hour I'm looking for indications on how much resources (CPU and RAM mainly) I should dedicate to my crawler to be able to smoothly crawl ~1M pages per hour. I run everything on a single node and use ES for persistency. I do a recursive crawl within 1 M domains.
Thank you!

A: In general FAQ, the speed depends to a large extent on the diversity of hostnames and the politeness settings. In your case, there is no shortage of hostnames, so that's not the limit.
With ES as a backend, the bottlenecks tend to be the query times in the spouts and also the merging of the segments. As your crawl grows in size, these take longer and longer. There are various ways in which you can optimise things e.g. use sampling with the AggregationSpouts. Giving loads of RAM to ES would help and so would using SSDs. You could tweak the various params but to be honest, 1M per hour on a single server sounds very ambitious with ES as a backend. The faster you crawl, the more URLs you discover, the bigger your index becomes.
Do you plan to revisit URLs at all or is it a one-off crawl?
Could you please get in touch by email? I'd like to discuss this as it is pertaining to some work I am doing at the moment (and I am always curious about what people do with SC). Thanks.

May 04, 2017 (LBO) – An IMF team has reached staff-level agreement with Sri Lankan authorities on the second review under a three-year Extended Fund Facility arrangement, a statement said.
The review however hinges on completion of prior actions, such as the new Inland Revenue Act, which will be taken into account by the IMF Executive Board in June.
Constructive discussions were held during the visit to Colombo in March, and during the Spring Meetings, an IMF staff team said issuing a statement in Washington DC.
"The Board is expected to consider Sri Lanka's request for completion of the second review in June 2017, by which time the new Inland Revenue Act is expected to be submitted to Parliament as a prior action. The new law should pave the way for a durable fiscal consolidation based on revenue mobilization—a key pillar of the government's reform program.
"The team commends the authorities for resuming accumulating net international reserves as a corrective action for missing the end-2016 target. This reserve accumulation should continue and help reduce Sri Lanka's external vulnerability.
The statement added that Sri Lankan authorities are making progress in their economic reform program, particularly on improving the fiscal position.

Home Local Is a fixed election date still on the agenda of the PLP...
Is a fixed election date still on the agenda of the PLP Government?
Could the PLP Break its 2012 Election Promise – The ELECTION CLOCK IS TICKING ALREADY!!!
Prime Minister Perry Chistie, Hubert Ingraham and Branville McCartney.
Bahamians want a fix date for elections so they can begin the countdown!
Nassau, Bahamas –– Will the Progressive Liberal Party hold to its campaign election promise to deliver to the Bahamian people a fixed date for the next general elections?
The idea of a fixed election date became high on the list of things to do as Ingraham dithered in calling the May 7th Elections.
While on the campaign trail Prime Minister Christie told Guardian reporters: "We know that the English have just for the first time begun to discuss and put to Parliament a fixed date for elections. In a modern democracy it makes a lot of sense to have a fixed date and to take the discretion away from the prime minister because people are able to plan their lives, the whole country could plan better and be better prepared for election."
According to the UK Parliament website, by law a general election must be held in the UK, and a new Parliament elected, every five years.
However, after the Fixed Term Parliament Act was passed on 15 September 2011 in the House of Commons, the date of the next general election is set at 7 May 2015, giving the British people no doubt as to when the next elections are to be held.
The act provides for general elections to be held on the first Thursday in May every five years. There are two provisions that trigger an election other than at five-year intervals.
* A motion of no confidence is passed in Her Majesty's Government by a simple majority and 14 days elapses without the House passing a confidence motion in any new Government formed
* A motion for a general election is agreed by two thirds of the total number of seats in the Commons including vacant seats (currently 434 out of 650).
Bahamas Press wonders if the PLP is ready to begin the election clock, as months are quickly passing and days are moving fast.
Many Bahamians agreed with the idea of a fixed election date, as the move would not leave the country hostage to the power of one man.
BP is hoping the PLP holds to its election promise and set the stage like the British and Americans and remove us from such archaic colonial trappings.

Browns camp notebook: HueJax (1-31) under pressure early, often
Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson has gone 1-31 in the past two seasons.Photo: Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports

Head coach Hue Jackson under pressure to produce early after going 1-31 the past two years
BEREA, Ohio -- Pressure is going to be on head coach Hue Jackson to produce early after going 1-31 the past two years.
The schedule-maker did him no favors. The Browns host the Steelers in their season opener and then play the Saints in New Orleans on Sept. 16. Their next three assignments are a home Thursday night game against the Jets, a game in Oakland and a home game with the Ravens on Oct. 7. Jackson could be on thin ice if he isn't at least 2-3 by then.
--Linebacker Mychal Kendricks was a late addition to the Browns roster. He was signed on June 3 after most of OTAs had been completed. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams isn't worried about Kendricks playing catch-up in training camp.
"I think he fits in perfectly here," Williams said. "One of the things that we do here is every player has to play more than one position. That's how we have the flexibility of the 'next man up' during the season and how you play the next best athlete, not the next best on the depth chart. It's the next best athlete. Kendricks fits into that role. He's a multiple-position player. He's able to play inside and outside."
Kendricks played the last six seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
--The Browns signed Donald Stephenson on March 15 hoping he could compete for a starting job at left tackle. He never practiced with them. He was suspended by the NFL for two games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Stephenson chose to retire instead. It isn't a critical blow to the Browns, but they wouldn't have signed him in March if they didn't think he could help.
--Rookie Damion Ratley might have to make an early impression in training camp to get significant playing time in preseason and thereby increase his chances of making the final roster.
"He's made some plays," head coach Hue Jackson said. "He's still a young guy who's learning how to play, learning how to line up. Again, that's to be expected right now, but I think he has talent," Jackson said. "He can catch. He can run. I think once he figures out that part of it of where to be and when to be there, then his athletic ability will show."
Ratley has size going for him. The 6-foot-3 product of Texas A&M was a sixth-round draft pick by the Browns in 2018.

Destin Plastic Surgery Marks 20 Years on the Emerald Coast
This year marks a milestone for Destin Plastic Surgery, midway between Pensacola and Panama City, as it celebrates its 20th anniversary serving the Southeast.
Destin, Florida (December 2015) — Destin Plastic Surgery (www.theplasticdoc.com), a practice that's introduced groundbreaking plastic surgery techniques to patients from Pensacola to Panama City, Florida, and beyond, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
"When I started the practice in 1995, I aspired to provide unique, high-quality care to the people of the area and beyond," says Dr. William Burden, a board-certified plastic surgeon who established Destin Plastic Surgery. "Within months of arriving in Destin, I had reattached a construction worker's finger, used advanced microsurgical techniques in a breast reconstruction case, performed several endoscopic brow lifts and introduced 'No Scar on the Breast' breast augmentation to the region."
Innovation has become a hallmark of Destin Plastic Surgery, and Dr. Burden's advanced skills in reconstructive and cosmetic breast and facial surgery — honed under mentors at the University of Florida and Louisiana State University — quickly became known throughout the Southeast's community of plastic surgeons.
Tapping into his experience as a computer software developer and systems analyst prior to becoming a plastic surgeon, Dr. Burden aimed to create a high-tech practice from the ground up.
"My goal was to have not only an excellent medical and office staff, but to also have a superior facility that people enjoyed," Dr. Burden says. "I installed one of the first digital imaging systems that allowed simulations. The patients were very pleased with the improved communication at their consultations and left with a better understanding of what was possible."
Dr. Burden says his close-knit team is equally responsible for the success of the practice, including his wife, Pam, who was instrumental in establishing The Anti-Aging Skincare Clinic. He says she traveled to Scottsdale, Arizona, to witness firsthand the innovative technique of combining light chemical peels with cryotherapy to incorporate it at Destin's skin care clinic. He says it's now the most requested service.
In March 2002, Destin Plastic Surgery moved into its current 20,500-square-foot facility, which houses their non-surgical skincare clinic, The Destin Vein Center, and Destin Surgery Center. A year later, Dr. L. Scott Ennis joined the surgical staff following his plastic surgery fellowship training at the University of Virginia. Dr. Burden says Dr. Ennis has added to the success of the practice in the past 12 years, specializing in breast surgery and body contouring procedures such as power-assisted liposuction.
"We have patients visiting us from Tallahassee, neighboring states, and even around the world. Word-of-mouth has helped the practice grow and we are thankful to the patients, doctors, and nurses who recommend friends, family members and others to us," Dr. Burden says. "My hope is that we will continue to build upon our foundation of innovation and continue to deliver high-quality services to our patients and clientele for the next 20 years."
If you're considering a cosmetic procedure and want to learn more about Destin Plastic Surgery, request a consultationrequest a consultation using the online form to meet personally with either Dr. Burden or Dr. Ennis. Or call our office at (850) 654-1194 to schedule an appointment.


Built for the Canadian climate, designed by Canadian engineers.
Rediscover your home. Turn that freezing cold man cave basement of yours into your new favourite cozy space.
RadiantLink is completely customizable. Warm your basement, garage, towel racks, soaker tub and more.
RadiantLink simply attaches to your regular furnace. Once connected, the existing furnace's heating system and patented product work together to deliver an ultra-efficient form of radiant heating or cooling – wherever you choose in your home.
We have many experienced installers throughout Canada already using our product with ease. Plumbers find our installation to be easy to learn and painless to install on any furnace.
"After having a Radiant Link system installed in our home we are now spending significantly more time downstairs. Our kids always want to go down and play in the nice warm basement, my wife and I are enjoying watching movies in our downstairs home theatre, and our daughter has stopped complaining about the temperature…. in fact she is spending more time downstairs than ever before. Thanks to Radiant Link, it is as though we have twice the living space during the long, cold winter months."
"RadiantLink effectively heats my slab-on-grade solarium addition using my existing furnace."
"Now we use our basement all year round. The kids can play on the warm floor. It's simple and effective because RadiantLink just re-directs a small portion our furnace heat to the basement floor."
"Our new house basement was constructed as 'radiant ready' with in slab tubing in place. We had concerns with using our water heater as a heat source and a boiler was beyond our budget. RadiantLink was the logical choice for us."

Billie Jean 25th Motown lip sync?
Thread: Billie Jean 25th Motown lip sync?
Re: Billie Jean 25th Motown lip sync?
Well, like I said before, I never noticed the lip syncing-it was LIVE to me.
I have rarely looked so forward to a special and that night I took my old position cross legged in front of the TV (I'm Michael's age, so that's how we watched TV as kids) and my mother was in the rocker next to me. I was so happy through the whole special-and then that moment that Michael turned his head and glared at the camera-lost my breath, my stomach went to my head, grabbed Mama in a death grip-I think I was in a silent scream the entire time-I'm surprised I didn't pass out.
Never saw anything that crazy exciting in my life-only surpassed by the 88 Grammys, IMO.
I love hearing memories like this! really cheered me up thanks for sharing. *this* is the everlasting magic!
Yes he lipped it. It's common knowledge and blatantly obvious.
Also the Jacksons part was playback. At least the music.
the music and background vocals, but Michael was singing live during the Jacksons' part.
You can definitely tell that Billie Jean on motown was lip synched. MJ always sounded like he had an accent when he sung billie jean live. Billie Jean is one of the few songs where he was never quite able to sing it live the way he sung it on the record.
Agreed. If MJ didnt have to dance and sing at the same time he would of sounded really close to the original record. The rehearsals prove that IMO. Remember the time sounds 99% like the original.
I loved reading your memories. The Motown 25 and Grammys 1988 performances were magical, and no one knew or cared if they were lip synced or not. I remember watching Motown 25 with my Mama, sister and Grandmama. We were all amazed. Michael's Grammy performance in 1988 is still my favorite. At school the next day everyone was talking about how amazing Michael was, and that he stole the show. Even the boys who thought that he wasn't cool anymore were in awe. No one was talking about the winners, everyone was talking about Michael.
I read an interesting theory about why he choose to lip synch Billie Jean, The Motown band were not able to play the groove the way MJ wanted it to sound so he played the record instead.
This theory looks like just another fan myth.
In fact, MJ planned to lip synch 'Billie Jean' (for the Motown 25 event) because it was a new song & he wanted the audience/TV viewers to listen to its original, album version.
In addition to that, he wanted also to feel safe by personally hearing in his ears the version that he exactly knew so as to concentrate easier on his dance moves (such as, his first ever public moonwalk).
Where did you read all of that?
Sounds about right. Lipsynching and pre-recording was common place, for television shows in the sixties, seventies and eighties. No one watching ever thought to make a big deal about it, seriously.....it was just how things were done.
I have to agree that this rehearsal is pretty close.
Michael might have lip synced Billie Jean because he wanted people to focus on his dancing and not on his singing.
MJ did not mention in his 'Moonwalk' book that he chose to lip-sync because the Motown band could not play the groove the way he wanted.
He did not even imply such a thing in his book.
What I wrote can be easily deduced by reading between the lines (of the relevant parts of that book).
Like, his only concern (about that song for the event) was the dance moves that he should come up with so as to match with the song's album version (which he played loud in his kitchen).
You said that what I wrote looks like another fan myth then proceeded to give your own fan theory. You may very well be right but your guess is as best as anyone's guess really.
To me, this is the most iconic performance in music/television history. Period. (The second-most iconic would be his Grammy 88 performance; but I'm prejudiced.) And yes, he lip-synced it.
That was very obvious to me when I first saw the performance on vhs sometime in the late 80s. Don't forget: This was the very first(!) time a song from Thriller was performed live, and before a multiple-million tv audience at that. The pressure/anticipation etc. must have been absolutely intense.

The best eBook reader apps for Android
By Krishna Rao On Jan 3, 2023
AMD is winning a key battle against Nvidia in GPU price war
Someone fitted a Pixel 5a battery into a Pixel 4a for 17%…
Finding the right e-book reader apps (also called eReaders) can be difficult. There are a variety of e-book types, plenty of file formats to deal with, and then there are different kinds of books (novels, comics, etc) that make the whole experience a little complicated. However, with the right app, you can turn any phone or tablet into an e-book reader fairly easily.
Additionally, the technology has kind of plateaued a little bit. Thus, e-book reader apps are about as good as they've ever been, and we don't see them getting much better without some serious innovation in the future. The good news is that whatever you pick should last you a good long time as long as the developer remains active. Here are the best e-book reader apps for Android.
The best e-book reader apps for Android
Aldiko Book Reader
Price: Free / $4.99
Aldiko Book Reader is one of the older e-book reader apps. It's also a great simple option for those who need it. It features support for EPUB, PDF, and Adobe DRM encrypted e-books as well as e-book support for library books on rental. The app also comes with a clean, if somewhat antiquated interface, customization options, phone and tablet support, and global text searches inside of books. The free version comes with ads. The paid version does not. Otherwise, they're basically the same.
AIReader
Price: Free / Up to $9.72
AIReader is one of the newer e-book reader apps, comparatively speaking. It also supports much older versions of Android. That's becoming a bit rarer these days. The app also supports most common e-book formats, including EPUB (no DRM), RTF, MOBI, PRC, and many others. The interface comes with customization options, auto-scrolling, page-turning animations, and various view modes for your comfort. The app is free to use, but you can buy one of the various donation versions if you want to. They range from $0.99 to $9.72.
Price: Free / Book costs vary
Amazon Kindle is one of the obvious e-book reader apps. It has one of the largest and most consistent e-book stores on the internet. Additionally, the app has a ton of reading features, cross-device syncing, and even a large collection of free books. The UI is riddled with ads. However, the actual book reading part is free of any such nonsense. There are also a variety of customization settings while reading. It's a rock-solid option for book availability alone. You can also download books for offline use if needed.
Nook is yet another competitor to Amazon, Kobo, and Google Play Books. Unlike most, this one actually has physical book locations. You can visit Barnes&Noble, the parent company of Nook. The eReader is about as standard as it gets. It comes with customized reading options as well as support for books, comic books, manga, and more. Like most, it also offers cross-device syncing. It even supports magazines and newspapers. It's a rock-solid experience, actually.
FBReader is another older eReader app. Like Aldiko, it's a great option for most basic use cases. That includes support for AZW3, EPUB (up to EPUB3), fb2, RTF, HTML, and even plain text documents. It uses a proprietary Google Drive cloud service to sync books between your devices. We also really liked the UI. It's a bit old, but it's effective and easy on the eyes. It even has gesture support. For now, anyway, the app is entirely free to use.
Foxit PDF Reader
Joe Hindy / Android Authority
Foxit is one of the most popular PDF reader apps. It's a good mixture of productivity and reading. The app supports basically all types of PDF files. Additionally, it offers annotation features, form-filling features, and ConnectedPDF for privacy. For reading, it can read PDFs out loud and also supports audio and video stuff. It has probably the best cross-platform support of any eReader or PDF app. You can find Foxit on Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, and Android. That's the big five!
FullReader
Price: Free / Optional donations
FullReader (formerly FReader) is a popular and modern e-book reader app. It supports a wide range of e-book file types as well as less popular ones like CBR and CBZ (comic books) plus MP3 for audiobooks. The UI is classic Material Design and the app layout is simple enough for almost everybody. Some more power-user features include cloud backup support with Google Drive and Dropbox, an AMOLED dark mode, and a translator that works with 95 languages. The app is entirely free as far as we can tell. There are optional donations if you want to support development.
Google Play Books
Google Play Books is a competitor to e-book reader apps like Amazon Kindle and Barnes&Noble Nook. It's a virtual bookstore. The selections include books, magazines, and all sorts of other stuff. It supports several e-book formats, comic book formats, and other types of e-book formats. You can even upload your books to the cloud and read them anywhere. That gives you a really good storage option that you can access on any device with an internet connection. Some other features include book rentals, a Rapid Skim Mode, and a Quick Bookmarks feature. The app is free, but many of the books cost money.
Kobo Books is another online bookstore like Amazon, Nook, and Google Play Books. The app is extremely basic. It seems like all it can do is read purchased books from the service. However, the service does support both audiobooks and normal e-books. Other features include cross-device syncing, downloading for offline use, and a Night Mode for late-night reading. The discovery features are actually pretty decent as well. The app is free to download. Books cost money, obviously.
Moon+ Reader
Moon+ Reader is definitely one of the best e-book reader apps out there. It supports a wide range of e-book formats, including EPUB, PDF, MOBI, most comic book formats, and more. It even has OPDS support. The app also includes over ten themes, gesture controls, auto-scrolling, EPUB3 support, and cross-device syncing via Dropbox. It's one of those eReader apps that has all the right bells and whistles. You can remove ads for $4.99.
OverDrive is an excellent e-book reader and it's not because it supports your current library. OverDrive connects you to your local library and you can actually borrow e-books you don't own for free, just like you can at your local library. It includes some neat features like no late fees, and it'll remember where you left off next time you read. It doesn't have a lot of the power user features of other e-book readers. However, it is one of the truly great and legal sources of free e-books. You can try out the official app (linked at the button below) or Libby (Google Play link), which does the same thing in a slightly different way.
Ploter is an up-and-coming ebook reader app. It's a cloud library that contains your ebooks. It works similarly to YouTube Music or Apple Music. You upload your ebooks to the service and access them from the app wherever you are as long as you have an Internet connection. It works with most ebook and audiobook formats. It also works cross-platform with Windows and Kobo branded ebook readers.
You get 500MB of free storage, which the developer estimates are around 200 ebooks worth. They plan to add premium tiers with more storage later on, but it hasn't launched yet as of the time of this writing. It's new, so there are bugs, but we like the idea, and we hope the app does well in the future.
PocketBook is another one of the older e-book reader apps. Don't let that fool you, though. This app has enough features to justify its existence here. That includes support for most common e-book file types, comic books, and even Adobe DRM and PDF. You can highlight text, export notes, lock your screen orientation, and more. There is also OPDS support for those who need it. The highlight of this one is its price. There aren't a ton of completely free e-book readers these days and this app is easily among the best in that category.
Prestigio Book Reader
Price: Free / $2.99 / Up to $100.99
Prestigio changes its name almost every year. However, it's still one of the better e-book reader apps. The app supports over 25 languages, text-to-speech functionality, and 50,000 books available for download. Additionally, the app can sync across devices (account required). Some other features include a Night Mode, various customization options, and a decently modern UI. The app is free. You can remove ads for a single $2.99 in-app purchase. There is also an optional donation button for $1, $5, $10, $50, and $100 in case you want to support development.
ReadEra is a surprisingly popular e-book reader app. It has all of the basics, including various reading modes along with support for PDF, EPUB, WORD, MOBI, FB2, DJVU, TXT, and the super rare CHM formats. It doesn't require any services or anything like that. There is also a split-screen mode where you can read multiple books or documents at the same time. However, we really only recommend that on larger screen phones or tablets. This one is surprisingly good, easy to use, and the UI looks nice. We're also relatively certain this one is entirely free.

As a relaxing artifact, the Foam Roller have been well known and used by many running friends. The use of Foam Roller to roll the muscle can play a relaxing muscle, eliminate muscle stiffness tension, loosen muscle knot pain points, promote blood circulation, eliminate fatigue and other functions.
The foam roller relaxes with the stretching, may improve the muscle and so on the soft tissue elasticity, this has the vital significance to enhances the running ability, the prevention pain.
Really know how to run is often not more than who can run, but to see who pay more attention to muscle relaxation and fatigue recovery. Attention to muscle relaxation and fatigue recovery is a sign of a runner's maturity.
Is the foam roller just muscle relaxation artifact? In fact, the foam roller is also a great tool in strengthening strength, training difficulty and strengthening strength training effect.
The foam roller is used as a strength training tool, and you just need to do it on the basis of the bare-hand strength training, increase the foam roller, such as the hand is not propped on the ground, but in the foam drum, the foot is not placed on the ground, but on the foam drum, the training difficulty will be greatly increased, the training difficulty is relatively greater, the training effect of course is better, At the same time can also avoid the pure hand strength training brought about by the boring and physical adaptation problems.
As a new type of restorative artifact, the foam roller is to roll back and forth its weight on a cylindrical EVA foaming material, so what magical effects does it have?
Relieve joint buildup pain by relaxing muscle and reducing joint pressure.
Perhaps some of the more senior runners have been exposed to the Foam Roller. Use foam drum to do muscle relaxation, often hear people pain ao straight call, the most appropriate description is "pain and happy." So is the bubble roller relaxing really painful? In fact, people often do not know the right way.

What would Fuller House be without the predictability of Full House's classic old theme song, "Everywhere You Look"? Probably not on Netflix — but thankfully, Carly Rae Jepsen is here to the rescue! She's loaned her reliable charm and cheer to an updated version for the Fuller House theme, which you may have missed playing in the background of that cheese-filled trailer. Now it's leaked in full, and wow, does it sound like baking a cake filled with rainbows and smiles. Bravo, Carly, you really captured those good old sickeningly sweet days.

Q: Как загрузиться в FreeBSD со сломанным загрузчиком? У меня есть диск (HDD, SSD, флэшка - что угодно) с установленной на него FreeBSD. Я каким-то образом сломал загрузочный код (первые 446 байт MBR) на диске, и теперь моя FreeBSD даже не пытается загрузиться.
Однако я знаю, что разделы на диске не повреждены, и все данные, кроме куска MBR, на месте. Как мне загрузиться?

A: Если вы имеете дело с "классической" 512-байтной загрузочной записью (MBR в стиле DOS) - всё довольно просто.
DOS-like MBR состоит из 3 частей: первые 446 байт несут в себе непосредственно код загрузчика (bootcode), который умеет передавать управление загрузкой компьютера загрузочному сектору, находящемуся в одном из разделов диска; следующие 64 байта описывают "основные" разделы диска (4 по 16 байт); оставшиеся 2 байта - это сигнатура 55h AAh.
Если код загрузчика был стёрт, как-то повреждён, затёрт нулями или заменён другим загрузчиком, не знающим ничего про FreeBSD, но таблица разделов осталась на месте - загрузиться в установленную на один из разделов FreeBSD можно, просто воспользовавшись загрузчиком любой другой FreeBSD для старта.

*

*Начните загрузку любой BSD-like операционной системы (я проверял этот метод на FreeBSD 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 9.2 и Frenzy 1.4) с другого носителя - HDD, CD, с USB-флэшки, через сеть по PXE, через virtual media посредством BMC/KVM, etc.

*В процессе загрузки выберите опцию "Escape to loader prompt" на экране загрузчика (она будет под номером "6" в старых дистрибутивах FreeBSD, "3" в FreeBSD 9, "8" в Frenzy)

*Теперь выгружайте ядро "чужой" FreeBSD, в загрузчике которой находитесь, и его модули, с помощью команды unload

*Найдите дисковое устройство, на котором находится FreeBSD, в которую необходимо загрузиться (обычно это что-то вроде disk0s1a) с помощью команды lsdev

*Выберите это устройство "основным" ("current") для загрузчика, дав команду set currdev="disk0s1a"

*Перечитайте loder.conf с вашего диска (там могут быть критичные для правильной загрузки хаки, вроде подключения модулей ядра для работы с сетевыми картами) командой read-conf boot/loader.conf

*И, наконец, загрузите вашу ОС командой boot-conf
Когда ваша недоступная для самостоятельной загрузки FreeBSD загрузилась, останется только починить её загрузчик. В своём случае я использовал sysinstall, пункт Custom -> Partition, W, <Yes>,  BootMgr ("Install the FreeBSD Boot Manager"), <OK>, Q, <Exit>, <Exit Install>. Однако эта утилита объявлена устаревшей с момента выхода 9.0-RELEASE и убрана из базовой системы с момента выхода 10.0-RELEASE. Есть и альтернативный способ восстановить загрузчик, воспользовавшись резервной копией, хранящейся в /boot (за подсказку спасибо @dile):
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr /dev/yourbootdevice

Oklahoma Justices Send Execution Case To Lower Court
Clayton Lockett and Charles Warner have sued the state seeking more information about the drugs that would be used to kill them.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court says it is not the place for death-row inmates to go if they want a stay of execution.
Justices said Thursday that the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals should take up stay requests from 2 inmates scheduled to die in the next 2 weeks. The appeals court had said previously it didn't have the authority because the inmates hadn't met all technical requirements under the law.
Clayton Lockett and Charles Warner have sued the state seeking more information about the drugs that would be used to kill them. They say they need stays of execution so they can continue their challenge.
The justices wrote that the Court of Criminal Appeals erred in not taking up the request.
Death penalty abolitionists and others who seek to end the death penalty will protest the executions of two death-row inmates on the days of their executions.
The Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty will host "Don't Kill for Me" demonstrations at the governor's mansion followed by silent vigils on Tuesday for death-row inmate Clayton Lockett and on April 29 for Charles Warner.
The inmates have been in a legal battle with the state over the secrecy surrounding which drugs are used in executions and their origins. The executions are still scheduled to take place, despite pending litigation in the case.
Lockett was found guilty of the 1999 shooting death of a 19-year-old woman, Stephanie Nieman. Warner was convicted for the 1997 death of his roommate's 11-month-old daughter.

Arthur Tyler, slated to die May 28 in controversial capital case, asks Ohio for mercy
Arthur Tyler, who has been on Ohio's death row 3 decades for the murder of a produce vendor during a robbery in Cleveland, has asked the Ohio Parole Board to commute his sentence to life in prison with a chance of parole.
The parole board will hold a clemency hearing April 24 to hear Tyler's pleas. The board will make a recommendation to Gov. John Kasich, who will ultimately decide Tyler's fate.
He is scheduled to be executed May 28.
Tyler's case has been controversial because he was 1 of 2 people convicted in the killing of Sanders Leach, but the only one sentenced to die. And there are questions as to who actually pulled the trigger.
Tyler's co-defendant, Leroy Head, confessed almost immediately. Head admitted to police, family and friends that he shot Leach in a struggle for the gun during the March 1983 robbery attempt, according to court records.
He signed a confession, but later changed his story, telling prosecutors that Tyler fired the gun.
Tyler was convicted of aggravated murder and aggravated robbery and sentenced to die. Head pleaded guilty to the same charges and was sentenced to prison. He was released in 2008.
Tyler's lawyers, in a brief filed with the parole board, said Tyler recognizes he shares responsibility for Leach's death. But they urge clemency be granted, commuting his death sentence to life imprisonment with parole eligibility.
"Ideally, Arthur Tyler should be granted parole and released from prison for time served, they wrote. "As we will demonstrate, Arthur Tyler did not shoot Mr. Leach. Head falsely testified against Mr. Tyler in order to save himself from the death penalty."

LOUISIANA – Child killer's formal death sentencing set May 28 – Brian Horn
MANSFIELD — Recently convicted child killer Brian Horn will be formally sentenced to death at 9 a.m. May 28.
District Judge Robert Burgess set the sentencing date Wednesday. It falls a few days after the 45-day window he initially envisioned Saturday after a jury voted unanimously to sentence Horn to death.
Even though the sentence is a given because of the jury vote, Burgess said he is required by the Louisiana Supreme Court to prepare a uniform capital sentence report. It likely will be dozens of pages in length to give a comprehensive overview of Horn and aspects of his trial.
For example, the report will include information such as the makeup of Horn's family, his education level, any expert witnesses who testified at the penalty phase, work history, criminal history, details of the crime and victim, acknowledgment of the defense counsel and their years of experience and general information about the trial, including jury selection.
Also added will be a listing of previous first-degree murder cases, not restricted to capital cases, on dockets of the 42nd Judicial District, formerly the 11th Judicial District.
"It is a lot of work. It not only includes the name of the case but the facts of the case," Burgess said.
Additionally, the sentencing order requires the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections' Division of Probation and Parole to perform a complete capital sentence investigation report, with that information attached to Burgess' report.
Horn, 37, of Keachi was convicted April 2 of first-degree murder in the March 30, 2010 death of Justin M. Bloxom, 12, of Stonewall. The twice-convicted sex offender used text messages, portraying himself as a teenage girl, to lure Bloxom away from a friend's home.
Horn picked up Bloxom in his Action Taxi cab. He ran out of gas on U.S. Highway 171 near Stonewall's southern limits. And that's where he smothered Bloxom to death, leaving his body in a small depression of water across the highway fence row.
Horn's defense team conceded his guilt from the start. However, they contended Bloxom's death was accidental so they asked for a lesser sentence – one that would have sent Horn to prison for life.
The jury of East Baton Rouge Parish residents took less than an hour to convict Horn after listening to three and a half days of testimony. That moved the trial into the penalty phase, and after two and a half days of additional testimony, the same jury again was again on the same page in deciding Horn should die for the crime.
During the penalty phase, members of Bloxom's family were able to express to the jury how devastating his death has been for them. At the sentencing, family members will be able to address Horn directly.

All the teachers at the Sydney Sculpture School are not only excellent teachers, but gifted sculptors themselves.
Some sculptors and schools focus on one type of methodology, system or technique. Whilst specialization may be positive in some respects, we believe that it is important to have an open mind and to look at all forms of sculpture and associated processes. As such, we use different materials, encourage students to create their own visions and not just copy existing works, use live models and bring in experts in their respective fields.
Each person has their own style whether they know it or not. Each person also has their own strengths and weaknesses. Our aim is not to create clones of our teachers, but to help you develop your own style and to help you build on your own strengths and weaknesses.

One of probably the most common electrical wiring thoughts is on how to wire a switch. While employing switches at home is quite simple, wiring 1 might not be that effortless for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will find different types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you are putting in a single-pole toggle switch, a very popular change (plus the simplest).
There are actually three hues of wires within a standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them around the terminal screws - just one on top rated and the other within the bottom screw from the change. The white wire serves to be a supply of uninterrupted electrical power and it is commonly linked into a light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the eco-friendly wire to your ground screw of your switch.
These techniques would usually be ample for making a normal switch operate without a problem. However, if you usually are not confident that you simply can attain the activity adequately and properly you far better allow the pros do it instead. Immediately after all, there's a rationale why this undertaking is probably the commonest electrical wiring thoughts questioned by a lot of people.
For many cause, ways to wire a ceiling fan can also be considered one of the most frequent electrical wiring issues. To simplify this undertaking, you should utilize an individual change for the single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it is just a make any difference of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan towards the black wire of the swap. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire must be related towards the black wire in the switch too.
You will discover explanations why they're by far the most generally questioned electrical wiring issues. 1, many imagine it's basic to complete, and two, these are generally the common electrical duties in your house. But then you certainly should not put your basic safety in danger inside your aim to economize. The stakes could even be a great deal larger should you attempt to save money and do an electrical wiring career without the need of enough knowledge or knowledge.


The York massacre was organized by powerful gentry whose familial and tenurial links were with "some of the most powerful men in England" (248). "Almost all the men whose duty it was to protect the Jews of York in March 1190 were either absent from the county or uncertain of their authority within it. Those who attacked and massacred the Jews of York, on the other hand, were men with wide connections in local society and important links to the political opponents of William de Longchamp around the royal court" (249).
I think there is a storyboard about 1190 in the keep now. The stone keep wasn't built until the reign of Henry III - so not quite a direct replacement for the one burnt down. Sorry to be pedantic. Wearing archaological hat (and boots) today.


i believe Multi-Episodes are not properly supported right now, is that correct?
Particularly interesting here is that one has no second title while the other has.
It seems there can't be different thumbs assigned to both.
And manually add the above mentioned thumbs.
Quick fix for the issue until it makes it into a new release.
However... i would prefer a different approach. The episode is one single file and it should be displayed as such.
At the moment you will see two entries for this episode (01 and 02) in Kodi, they do have different thumbs now (as we just learned), different titles (if applicable) and generally separated meta within one single *.nfo file.
This way it should show as one entry within Kodi but with two episode numbers and titles, yet one thumb.
but perhaps today's scrapers are working differently.
With your file naming, it would also only show one thumb for multiple entries of the episode i assume?
I just noticed some odd behavior.
I also noticed that the thumb tag in the *.nfo file is usually blank and Kodi supposedly uses the thumb by matching file name.
If that is the case any modification of the *.nfo file is in fact useless. But then again i wonder where does Kodi get all the meta if it is set to "local info only"?
Anyone with insights who can enlighten me?

No, they are listed as separate items in a season listing in Kodi. (And I now see this is a TinyMediaManager topic, so YMMV...).
Yeah well for Kodi being the front-end it might help to understand what tweaks i need to use on the TMM back-end for Kodi to display the desired result.

Q: Снятие слежения с объекта Observable Здравствуйте. Реализую на Android проект по данному руководству: Тутор по OneFingerZoom. Задействуется паттерн проектирования Observer. В определенный момент работы приложения (поток отработал своё, выставил флаг) требуется убрать слежение за касаниями пользователя по экрану устройства, точнее за изменениями состояния объекта Observable (меняет свои состояния на основе координат касания пользователя по экрану, затем сигнализирует об изменениях).
Каким образом убирается слежение за данным событием? Некий метод у наследника View.OnTouchListener, класса, реализующего Observer или класса, реализующего Observable?
A: Из SDK по Observable:

deleteObserver(Observer observer)
Removes the specified observer from the list of observers.

Соответственно, в вашем коде из некоторого объекта, реализующего Observable, необходимо убрать подписку для конкретного Observer. Точнее (не видя кода) сказать сложно.
